FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS WEAPONS – READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY BEFORE USING. WARNING–ALTERATIONS This product was designed to function properly in its original condition. Alterations can make it unsafe. Do not alter any part or add or substitute parts or accessories not made by Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. DO NOT ALTER ANY GUN GENERAL INFORMATION AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS The RUGER ® MODEL 10/22 ® rifles are autoloading, recoil operated rifles. Retracting the bolt handle cocks the internal hammer and compresses the recoil spring. When the bolt is manually released, it moves forward (driven by the recoil spring), strips a cartridge from the magazine, if a loaded magazine is in place, and chambers the cartridge. The bolt is held against the chambered cartridge by the recoil spring. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer is released and strikes the firing pin. The firing pin indents the cartridge case rim and ignites the priming compound inside the rim. This ignites the powder in the cartridge case and a great volume of gas is instantly generated, which acts on the interior of the cartridge case in all directions. 8
Because the bullet offers the least resistance, it moves out of the cartridge case and exits the muzzle. The bolt then moves rearward automatically, extracting and ejecting the fired cartridge case, and at the same time cocking the hammer and compressing the recoil spring, etc., as described above. Once the trigger is released, the rifle is ready to fire again. Each time the trigger is pulled and released, the same cycle is repeated until there are no more cartridges in the magazine or in the chamber. The rifle will fire if there is a cartridge in the chamber and the trigger is pulled, whether or not there is a magazine in place! Removing the magazine does not unload the rifle. Never assume the rifle is unloaded. Visually inspect the chamber and the magazine each time the rifle is handled to be certain there are no cartridges in either. The 10/22 Carbine is identified by its curved carbine-style butt plate and barrel band. The Deluxe Sporter Model has a flat recoil pad, cut checkered stock, and no barrel band. The Target Model has a heavyweight, hammer forged barrel, laminated target style stock, and a special target trigger (see p. 15). The All-Weather ® Model has a carbine style stock with barrel band and is checkered on the forearm, pistol grip and butt plate. The black composite stock is made of a thermoplastic polyester resin, reinforced with fiberglass for strength, durability, and resistance to the elements. These models use a ten-shot rotary magazine chambered for the 22 Long Rifle cartridge The 10/22 RIFLE features a slimmer, hardwood stock, longer barrel, flat rifle butt plate, ramp front sight, and no barrel band. It uses the same ten-shot rotary magazine, chambered for the 22 Long Rifle cartridge, as the 10/22 Carbine models. The 10/22 Compact Rifle features a shorter barrel, shorter rifle-style, hardwood stock and forend, flat buttplate, and fiber optic front and rear sights. Chambered for the .22 Long Rifle Rimfire cartridge, the Compact Rifle uses the same ten-shot rotary magazine as the 10/22 Rifle and 10/22 Carbine. 9
